Question#1
This may be a question for Dick Divendorf or "P3 beta testers".
I use a K3/10 as my IF for VHF/UHF and Microwave operations. I am always
looking for WEAK signals. My K3 has a SoftRock driven by a buffer amp on the IF
port for a Panadapter and it works very well. I can see signals too weak to
work by about 5db using "Rocky" software spectrum display. Rocky's "slow
waterfall" is slightly better in detecting weak signals,
but to what degree in db, I have not determined.
For me, other software like PowerSDR does not display the really weak signals
as well.
My question, is there anything in the P3's operation that would offer any
better weak signal detection? Any direct observations between the P3 and other
panadapter systems with the K3.
Question#2
Anyone out there have any weak signal experience with the 2m internal
transverter yet. It's tempting, but I need very low level 144Mhz (a few
milliwatts) to drive the high band transverters as well 10watts or so for 2m
drive for 2m amplifiers.
I am doing that with an external DEM 2m transverter at the moment. I may need
more flexibility of levels than may be easily obtained with the internal
xverter.
For you weak signal types... EME etc ... how is the internal xverter stacking
up?
